US → EU Launch: AI & GDPR Compliance Guidance
Helping US-based and non-EU companies launch AI-powered products in the EU without regulatory surprises, sales blockers, or last-minute rewrites.
Expanding into the EU is rarely blocked by engineering alone. Most delays happen when AI Act and GDPR questions surface during enterprise sales, procurement, or security reviews - often too late.
Common issues we see during US → EU expansion
Unclear AI risk classification
Teams don’t know whether their AI falls into low, limited, or high-risk categories under EU AI Act logic.
GDPR blind spots in AI workflows
Personal data flows through training, inference, prompts, logs, or vendors without a clear compliance story.
Vendor & LLM uncertainty
Questions around OpenAI, Anthropic, or other providers block procurement because data sharing isn’t well-documented.
Sales blocked by compliance questionnaires
Enterprise EU customers ask questions the team isn’t ready to answer consistently or confidently.
How we help US companies enter the EU
We take a practical, engineering-driven approach. No legal theatre - just clarity, prioritization, and implementation support.
- Risk clarity: assess how EU AI Act and GDPR apply to your specific system
- System & data mapping: understand where AI and personal data really flow
- Gap analysis: identify what blocks EU customers and regulators
- Implementation roadmap: turn findings into an engineering backlog
Where most teams start
Most US → EU engagements begin with a short screening to avoid over-engineering and focus only on what actually matters for EU market entry.
